ultimate skill

Chapter 3 Distress
Personal equipment for the exploration team is complete. "United Technology" specially designed and manufactured a complete set of personal systems for them, including defense, communication and weapons.One piece of three-defense suit, several sets of digital camouflage suitable for camouflage in different environments, as well as the matching stab-proof bulletproof vest, a set of high-power individual communicator, and the 12mm caliber that I have been familiar with during training Caseless GP12 assault rifle.To say that this gun is an assault rifle is really not like it. It feels light and light like a toy, and it looks more like a submachine gun, but the barrel is slightly longer than the submachine gun. Firepower, range, reliability, recoil and other aspects have good performance.Especially in the case of using double magazines, it can provide continuous fire support like a light machine gun. The GP[-] has not been battle-tested, but it should be fine for self-defense during wilderness exploration.

After putting on a full set of digital camouflage protective clothing, Sun Xiang saw Zhou Tianhao next to him still trying to put on a bulletproof vest.William ran over to help him put on his vest with a smile, and Suzanne and Frank next to him were both pursing their lips and snickering.Zhou Tianhao noticed that everyone was looking at him, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Sun Xiang said with a look of resentment: "Do you want to put on the chemical protective suit too? Are you going to fight?"

Zhou Tianhao looked at the bulletproof vest in his hand, and laughed heartlessly, "I got used to it during training, inertia! I put it on without thinking about it." He said and put the bulletproof vest back.Zhou Tianhao's funny performance can sometimes relieve everyone's tension, but most of the time it is easy to make people's teeth itch.

The five-member team packed up got on the off-road vehicle prepared for them.The destination of the first mission is not far away, so this can be regarded as taking care of their rookie team.The destination is about 150 kilometers from the camp.The information shows that there are some mountains nearby. Although these mountains are not high, the situation in the mountains is much more complicated than that in the plains.Several aerial photos taken by the drone clearly record the situation in this mountain area. There are very few plants in the environment of lack of water and rain. See similar landforms.

The off-road vehicle travels in the roadless wilderness at a slow and bumpy speed.Except for Frank who was driving, the others tried their best to close their eyes and rest their minds, but it was not easy to relax in such a bumpy car.After almost biting his own tongue a few times, Sun Xiang adjusted his sitting posture helplessly, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

"There are mountains near our target, can this car drive in?" Zhou Tianhao and Sun Xiang were both sitting in the back. He saw Sun Xiang looking at the barren mountains outside the car boredly, knowing that he couldn't do it in this environment. After taking a break, I planned to chat with him to pass the time.

"The information shows that these mountains are all gentle slopes. There should be a way for cars to pass between the mountains. If it doesn't work, we can only go on foot." Sun Xiang pointed to the information and said.

"It's not an easy job to climb a mountain with these tents, tools, and supplies, and you need to walk to search after reaching the target. Do you still have the strength to complete the search task?" Zhou Tianhao frowned when he heard that he was about to walk in. up.

"Then pray that our car can drive to the destination!" William also joined in.

Because there is no way to launch satellites into planetary orbits for the time being, the connection with the base has become a problem. The solution can only be to add communication relays at an appropriate distance.In order to meet the needs of communication in special environments, the headquarters provides a small solar communication repeater, which is easy to store and collect, and can be used as long as it is placed on a high ground.So every fifty kilometers or so, Sun Xiang put the communication relay on the car on the nearby high ground.

God was kind to the seventh team. He didn't let these people carry big bags and small bags across the mountains, and the off-road vehicle drove directly to the vicinity of the target.

The rotation speed of this planet is faster than that of the earth. There are only 22 hours in a day, and the darkness comes relatively quickly. When we reach our destination, the sky is also dark.Everyone set up the tent on a relatively gentle slope.After establishing contact with the base, it was already dark. It would be unsafe to have no vigil at night in such a wild place. Originally, only four men were arranged to take turns vigil, but Susanna thought that as a member of the group, she had to take responsibility for herself. The obligation of the staff cannot be specialized just because she is a woman, and her attitude is very firm, so the number of members on duty has changed to five.

The next day the team finished preparations and started to set off. The team needed to explore six nearby hills, each with a relative height of several hundred meters.

The sunlight here is not strong, and stones of various sizes and shapes are scattered scattered around.In the dry land, occasionally one or two small grass grows feebly close to the ground.The drone surveyed an area within nearly a thousand kilometers. There are very few large lakes, let alone the sea. Only the east direction gradually increases in trees and rivers. The direction is set to the east.), it is speculated in the data that there should be an ocean in the east.

The team searched the two hills, but found nothing except for a few plants that had never been seen before.The five people, who are usually in good physical strength, are exhausted after a day. What they want to do most at this time is to go back to the campsite to drink some hot soup, and then have an early rest.

Sun Xiang followed everyone from a distance. He had just walked down a steep rocky slope. His legs were limp. The condition of the team members in front could not be better than his. It could be seen from their walking postures that they were all sideways. go down.

Sun Xiang, who was thinking about other things, found himself unable to stand still.The earth seemed to be trembling, some stones jumped on the ground, and a dull rumbling sound approached from a distance.Sun Xiang was a little dazed, he didn't realize what happened.

Suddenly, Zhou Tianhao pointed behind Sun Xiang and shouted, "Brother Xiang, run."

Sun Xiang turned his head and looked back. Dust rose all over the sky on the steep slope behind him. Below the dust were tumbling rocks of all sizes. Under the action of gravity, the stones and soil clods rushed down the steep slope.

Sun Xiang was the closest to the steep slope and the most dangerous. After seeing the situation clearly, he turned pale with fright, and immediately ran forward with all his might.The four players in front rushed forward as he started running, none of them wanting to be buried alive.I don't care about the exhaustion just now, and now I use every ounce of strength to escape.Unless there is an insurmountable obstacle in front of you, if you encounter a low stone, just use your hands and feet to turn over it.

A boulder protruding slightly from the ground blocked Sun Xiang's escape route. Seeing such a gentle obstacle, Sun Xiang directly crossed over it without even thinking about it.The foot that stepped over had just stepped on the muddy ground. Unexpectedly, the whole flat ground with a radius of one meter suddenly collapsed.

Sun Xiang realized that his body was falling out of control, and he quickly stretched out his hands to grab the edge of the cave in front. There was no soil fixed by plant roots, so how could he bear the weight of his entire body, so his body continued to fall, but there were two more hands in his hands? Clay.The tumbling earth and rocks, engulfed in dust all over the sky, buried the entrance of the cave not long after.

The other four members were already far away from the steep slope, and they discovered the danger early, and ran out of the landslide area without any danger after running desperately.After calming down for a while, they turned their heads to check on Sun Xiang's situation. There was flying dust all over the back, and there was no one in sight. The anxious four did not wait for Sun Xiang to appear until the dust cleared.

Sun Xiang who continued to fall, his first thought was "this is over", Yu Wang supported his hands and pulled around, hoping to catch the protrusion that would stop him from falling, but before he caught anything, his feet Already landed first.But it was only Sun Xiang's right foot that touched the ground, and the bottom of the cave could not be seen in the pitch-black hole. He bent his right knee to absorb the force of the fall, and when his left foot also touched the ground, his body could no longer maintain his balance.Sun Xiang curled up his body as best he could, and rolled to the left.Sun Xiang, who was already dizzy, found that he couldn't stop, and felt himself rolling down a steep slope. In order to reduce the damage, he could only try his best to maintain a curled up posture, and he could only resign himself to fate for the rest.

The hands, feet and back were hit continuously while rolling, and the tightly curled body opened up due to the pain caused by the impact, followed by his head hitting a boulder blocking the road. Fortunately, Sun Xiang was wearing a helmet, so he didn't have a blown head. But even so, the huge vibration still made Sun Xiang lose consciousness.

His head was groggy, Sun Xiang didn't know how long it had been since he woke up, the surroundings were dark, and his limbs felt nothing at all.He felt some sensation in his chest, but it was obviously pressed by mud and rocks, and this kind of pressure made it difficult for him to even breathe.The only thing that can move is the head, and he can turn his head slightly, but Sun Xiang who tried to turn his neck immediately fell into a dizziness. Maybe it was his luck, he hadn't felt the fear and despair in this situation, even Without even a chance to think about his situation, he immediately fell into a coma again.
